sation were the order Of the evening, and
after the supper in delightful "groupes

reluctantly dispersed. Miss May left for

of hands constantly employed finish
ing up work. Mr.. Bailey as a sculp-

Regular Tarantula Killers.

From the San Francisco Examiner

nature, with its myriads of forms of animal
life, amuse and entertain myself by taking
observations. One day while up in Gala
veras county l was travelling through a
rocky section and was rather hard pressed
for something to entertain me. | finally
reached a little glen, wheeled my
horse about and got under a mag
niflcent shade tree. Then l dis

witnessing a bloody battle between wasps
and tarantula. | call them waspS, though
in reality they were not such, being much
larger and heavier about the body, which
was held together in two separate parts by
scarcely visible coupling. Their waists
seemed even smaller than the common
wasp, and they swung themselves about on
the coupling with lightning-ike dexterity.
Tile insects seemed very much excited
aboutsomething and acted as il looking for
prey. 1t may be that hunger made them
furious. Anyway | closely watched their
actions and soon discovered the canse of
their rage. A large tarantula crept from
under dry log aud apparently started for
his house with all possible speed. The
wasps. as | will call them. had been dashing
themselves in all directions about the log,
but the moment the insects saw their vic
tim, which had evidently been hiding, they
fell upon han furously with quick dart,
and every dart seemed to eject a poison
which made fine faranttlo Xyl.ifhp in AGONY
The latter fights like a bear. resting on his
Launches and using his paws and legs as

while doing so seemed TO be conscious that
ut all hazards he must make for his house as
the only hope of safety. The wasps seemed
Ivy instinct to understand what was going

doubled their merciless attacks. They strucl;
their victim 30 suddenly that he seemed at
times to he bewildered. But he fought des-

Immediately began to tear the dead taran-

they had carried off the body piece by piece,
either TO feed their young or lay in a supply
OF food for the winter.
II made particular inquiries concerning
the habits Of tue monster wasps, and learned
| from some OF the Old settlers that the vicious
| insects were regular tarantula killers, and
that scarcely one had ever survived Their
